7. Does your book go into detail on how you do the straw bales?

I am thinking of trying it this year, but I can't find where you explained how it was done....here? Your blog? I was only going to try it with a few plants to see how it goes for me. I have so much trouble with my soil...the only place with enough sun is in the front of my house, and I sit on a steep hill. It seems that all the nutrients in the soil get washed down into the street, because I can't even grow nice easy annuals without them looking sad. This just seems to be the perfect solution if I can make it work.
